It reacts with oxygen every time you open the bottle. Notice how those white creams turn brown around the mouth of the tube? It's oxidating which means it's not working. Better to try natural skin lighteners like kojic acid, arbutin, and licorice. Hydroquinone only works in the lab, not in real life. It reacts with oxygen every time you open the bottle.

I have gone so far as to undergo laser treatments, which really didn't work that great either. In the beginning I saw results but in the end I think the spots came back. What has been working, beleive it or not, is Ambi. It's like 4 or 5 bucks at Target (by the way Target often has cheaper beauty products than Walmart, and always has better sales). I have not yet tried the spot treatment, but have been using the all over lightner. No breakouts either, which is great because I was too lazy to examine the ingredients.

Therapeutic sun avoidance: basking in the spa that is darkness and tranquility. Video games, television, reading, posing: whatever passes the time. If it is giddy fun to be indoors, as if out of the harsh, poison daylight, then simply enjoy every inky moment. If it is not fun, then consider it a 2 year detox and just bounce off the walls throughout. Good luck! :O) A great way to lighten the skin is to avoid the sun for 2 years and, during that time, take a daily 500mg Vitamin C supplement, in addition to a semi-weekly regular supplement as well.

Buying OTC products that contain it is a waste of money, for they only add about 1% of Hydroquinone to the product, while the prescription has 2%. I have been using this faithfully for the last 4 months on old acne scars, and it has made a HUGE difference. I love it! You also really should only use it on your dark spots. My dermatologist has me break a q-tip in half and dip the stick part into the Hydroquinone just so that I can get it only on the spots. Let me till you the first few days I thought I would go crazy because I have about 100 spots on my face, but I'm glad I did it the way she told me because if I had not my whole face would have faded leaving me with the exact same spots on just a lighter face.

It only cost about $10 at Ulta, comes in a huge tube, and is a really light weight lotion which sinks in quickly after I dab it on with a q-tip. My spots were cute freckles that turned on me after a combo of hormones and tanning (I now wear sunscreen every day, no more tanning for me!).
